Check in was not good. We were with a group all going to a wedding and traveling some distance. We asked several time to be notified as soon as our rooms were ready. That did not happen. If I had not kept checking who knows what would have happened. The lobby is very small and we were directly in front of the check in desk. We were all pacing and obviously anxious. We could have at least been able to process check in so that we could go straight to our rooms but no. We had 20 minutes to completely dress for a formal event.

Hello Tena, Just reaching out to you regarding your check in experience. Im so sorry to hear that you werent able to get in early. Check in doesn't start until 4 pm. An early check in is always difficult to swing on weekends,especially saturdays due to it being the busiest day of the week for checkins. And fortunately we have been sold out for the last week. I hope the wedding was just gorgeous and you all enjoyed yourselves so much. Please come back and see us again soon- have a great day!

Was not very happy with this hotel for being a hilton. We got to the hotel and we were told that our upgrade room the toilet was out of order. We were given a standard room to only have the same issue with the toilet in that room. So got changed again. The carpet in the entire hotel was disgusting and dirty. The shower in our room in the cracks had mold. These bookings are not inexpensive for the hilton company to not invest and upgrade the hotel. Also for what is served at breakfast it should be included instead of paying extra.

The room was nice, clean and spacious. You can tell it is an older hotel that was nicely renovated , but it became problematic when every time we returned to our room our key no longer worked . This happened 6 times so it became frustrating and the elevator needs maintenance. That’s a whole other issue.

Disliked: Amenities
From the time we arrived, staff wasn’t friendly and acted like they were inconvenienced to check us in. You could never find anyone at the front desk. One front desk lady was clearly making fun of us—not sure why or what she saw but the smirk on her face and no eye contact was bothersome. We had to ask for simple things like towels (no hand towels or wash cloths provided at check in and only one bath towel). They never came to our room to clean, give us new soaps, towels, etc. There was a sign that said every other day but in 4 days never once came. We had to ask for the things we needed. Not the cleanest room and disappointed that we weren’t given any Hilton honor points or perks like waters (would have been nice) because we were told that we had repaid for the rooms at a “discounted” price through a “third party” (Expedia). Was hoping die a nice experience…but it wasn’t. Giving 3 stars was being gracious on our part…

Good day to you Miss Simeone. I am reaching out to you in response to your review of this amazing property. We really appreciate the wonderful things you said about the property and its staff members. I am a little puzzled as to why you gave a 1 out of 5 on the scoring. Did you encounter an issue that you were unhappy with, or perhaps simply a confusion of the scoring system? :-) If there was an issue that was not addressed in a manner that you were pleased with, will you please let us know? It was a pleasure having you stay with us here at Hilton Garden Inn.

Was disappointed there was no continental breakfast. $14pp for a basic breakfast bar is steep. Towel bar was not attached to the wall and fell off with one touch. Other than that the room and bathroom were very spacious great proximity to the beach.

Hi Damon, Just touching base regarding your stay with us recently. Hated to hear about the Power going out on you. Yes it was a block-wide outage, unfortunately not something we had control over. However I do understand the discontent over the carpet cleaning and i do apologize for the inconvenience it may have caused you. As a hotel in order to keep things fresh and modern, we're tasked with the upkeep no matter how untimely that maybe. Luckily toilet paper and tissue are an easy fix. We hope this doesnt keep you away and look forward to a second chance. Have a great day!!

The rooms are comfortable and clean; check in is very easy; and the location offers great walkability. While there is no bar or restaurant on site, they do offer a basic breakfast (for an extra charge) and have a "pantry" from which you can purchase food/necessities. Front desk staff were kind and helpful.
